Some observations

I tend to be a pretty unobservant person. How many friends do I have that started wearing glasses and about a year later I come along with "Heyyy, you got glasses!"? Or got their hair cut? Or moved and all I did was vaguely wonder why I hadn't seen them in awhile? Still, I do sometimes notice stuff. Some of its even worth sharing.

(Well, maybe its not worth sharing, but I feel like writing about it, that's the whole point of this blog, so I can write about whatever I feel like.)

Ok, Observation 1:
I noticed recently that when I say "please" what I really mean is "do it now", or probably even "do it now, i just dare you not to". I wonder if that's the case for other people too? If you are reading this and we are friends, please forget this immediately, so that you don't think I'm an asshole the next time we hang out.

Observation 2
Technology makes me dumber. One day my automatic car unlock button wasn't working on my keychain. I thought "Oh my god, I can't get into my car!!". It was a very real moment of panic. I almost called my dad. I'm relieved to report that I figured out what "keys" are for before that happened.

Facebook has made me forget that if I have friends with whom I want to catch up, I can actually e-mail them and find out, instead of waiting around to see if they post an informative status, from which I can gather my own conclusions about their life.

Technology makes my friends dumber too. Those of my friends with GPS units in their cars are without a doubt the worst people ever at finding where they are going. I take it as a personal offence when I'm in the car with them and they try to use it, and I insist on giving them directions personally. What always happens is something like this: Me, "Turn up here at this light." Them, "Which way?"...frustrated pause..."As you may have noticed as we passed the street we were supposed to turn on, it is a one way street."

But do they suck at driving because they have GPS units, or do they have GPS units because they suck at driving?

Observation 3
Living alone makes me loony. I still love my tiny little apartment, and my solitude, but I have started to talk to myself. A trait that I have always classified with people who are either 1)so incredibly brilliant that sometimes some of their thoughts spill out of their brains or 2)wack jobs. I know I have a pretty average intelligence so...yeah. The other day I spilled milk all over my counter and I actually muttered aloud "Oh, good Ab." Every day when I go to work I have to pay for my parking at an automated stand. Last week when it told me to "Have a Nice Day", I actually said "You too." Sigh.

Observation 4
Hah, yeah right, like I have actually noticed enough stuff to fill out four of these.
